Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about RokthamBot
RokthamBot is a comprehensive AI bot management plugin for WordPress. It detects, blocks, and logs 148+ AI crawlers including GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, Bytespider, and many others. It provides per-bot policy controls, verified bot detection, emergency lockdown, and AI referral traffic tracking.
RokthamBot intercepts incoming requests and identifies the bot using a multi-layer approach: User-Agent string matching, IP range verification (CIDR), and forward-confirmed reverse DNS (FCrDNS) verification. Once a bot is identified, the configured policy (Allow, Block, Log Only) is applied. Blocks are enforced at the server level before any WordPress processing occurs.
No. Search engines including Google, Bing, DuckDuckBot, Applebot, and YandexBot are protected by default. Their policies are locked to "Allow" and cannot be accidentally changed. You must explicitly disable the Search Engine Guard to block search engines, which requires a confirmation warning.
The "Block All AI Bots" panic button is a master toggle that immediately blocks all detected AI crawlers when activated. It overrides individual bot policies and provides instant blanket protection. It is useful when you notice a sudden surge in scraping or want to stop all AI access immediately.
Emergency Lockdown mode blocks all AI bot access and returns HTTP 451 (Unavailable For Legal Reasons) for every request from an identified AI crawler. This is the most aggressive protection mode and is useful during legal disputes, when you need to stop scraping immediately, or when you want to send a clear signal that your content is not available for AI use.
Verified Bot Detection uses multiple verification layers to confirm a bot's identity beyond just the User-Agent string. It checks the bot's IP against known IP ranges and performs reverse-DNS lookup to verify the connection is legitimate. This prevents spoofed bots from bypassing your protections by impersonating legitimate crawlers.
"Block Only Fakes" is a feature that leverages Verified Bot Detection to allow legitimate, verified bots while blocking spoofed ones. If a bot claims to be GPTBot but fails verification (IP doesn't match OpenAI ranges, reverse-DNS doesn't resolve correctly), it is flagged as fake and blocked. Verified bots are allowed through based on their configured policy.
Yes. RokthamBot includes dedicated WooCommerce product protection. It detects and manages bot access to WooCommerce product pages and REST API endpoints, preventing AI scrapers from harvesting product data, pricing, and descriptions.
Yes. RokthamBot auto-detects Cloudflare and provides specific guidance on which Cloudflare settings to keep and which to disable for optimal AI bot management. It also auto-detects AWS CloudFront, Bunny CDN, Fastly, Sucuri, Akamai, StackPath, and KeyCDN.
AI Referral Tracking monitors traffic coming to your site from AI-powered services including ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude, Copilot, Meta AI, and others. This helps you understand how AI services are driving discovery and traffic to your content, so you can make informed decisions about which AI bots to allow or block.
